It's pretty commonly used: I have done it before. Just using MaxiBloom and nothing else worked fine from seedlings to the end. I do however now use both MaxiGrow and MaxBloom. I don't use any additives or voodoo otherwise, other than I inoculate my reservoir with a small amount of beneficial...

If you want really simple, GH Maxi Bloom start to finish.

Yeah I can relate to the hobbyist/tinkerer mentality. That's why I got attracted to hydroponics in the first place. But yeah, I don't know too much about using a chiller with such low volume. rkymtnman pointed out some potential pitfalls that will probably surround flow rate and a pump... plus...

Yeah I tend to agree with you. And if I were going to be throwing money at a temperature problem, I'd look at spending the money first on air conditioning rather than a water chiller. Still though, all things considered: even overspending a lot to grow your own plant(s) for your own needs can...

That's the way to do it if you can. Hoping someday I'll be able to grow outdoors for that sweet free sunshine. Ideally, I'd combine hydroponics and a greenhouse and push some limits. Someday! About a month ago, I found a bunch of seeds I had gotten from Nirvana about a decade past and that I...

This Northern Lights (Pyramid Seeds) is just getting started in life but decided to bust on out to be about triple the size of the Washing Machine (Ripper Seeds) next to it already. I'm excited to see what she does in flower:

Fighting heat inside a cabinet without AC is going to be a battle no matter how you cut it. For every bit you cool the water you'll have to have someway of dealing with the additional heat produced in the air. Is getting at least a small AC unit (either a window or portable sort you can exhaust...

A classic: Northern Lights. Fun to grow and the effect just hits some sort of sweet spot with me. I'm trying Pyramid Seeds' take on the strain soon.

That's exactly the same reason I switched over to Grow Light Science lights. In fact, GLS model names are rounded off BELOW the actual watts drawn. Like their "Grow 200" is actually 206W and their "Grow 300" is actually 321W. And all the PPF information is clearly put out there with their specs...

Since it looks like you do a bit of gardening otherwise - would you happen to have iron chelate you could make a foliar spray with and see if that resolves it?

I've always wanted to see a side by side where half are grown from the biggest, most mature and well developed looking seeds... vs half that were grown from the smallest, whitest, underdeveloped seeds you can find and still get to germinate. To answer the question of how much of an impact does...

They're going to want someone that already has an established platform of some sort with an audience/followers (ie an influencer).

Curious what you are using for taking pH readings?

A T5 is probably great for new seedlings. You can run them under 24 hours of light from day 1 if you want and that is what works for you (until you want to flower them anyway).

24 hours of light during veg is a debatable topic. And one where there's a lot of opinions. Personally for veg, I've tried 24on, 20on/4off, 18on/6off and just settled on 20on/4off. And I haven't noticed a difference compared to 24on or 18on/6off. Except that I save some on electric and...

I can tell you know what you are doing due to the lack of aluminum foil used anywhere.

Probably he's scamming people.

If you aren't using a VPN and want to post pictures, I'd start using one.

From Univ. of Minn Agg Extension. Article is geared towards germination but some applies in regards to managing threat of damping off for cuttings. And as you probably aren't/shouldn't run cuttings under intense or hot lights, there's probably not much need to insulate heavily if they are near...

Damping off is caused by a mold or fungus that thrives more in cool/wet conditions vs warm/wet. And yes on the chlorine being beneficial to holding off any microbes of most sorts - and at drinking water levels I've not ever noticed it harms the cuttings.
